Skyline football team pulls away from Jackson, 49-24
October 18, 2011
Just when it looked like the momentum was turning, Skyline High School quarterback Max Browne wasn’t feeling it.
Jackson’s Trevor Hodge had just hit a 41-yard field goal in a string of 10 points for the Timberwolves, leaving host Skyline behind, 24-21. Browne wasn’t fazed.
“Scared? No way,” Browne said. “Every drive we got stopped, we were stopping ourselves. I knew Jackson would have to outscore us to beat us. I knew they would have a tough time doing that.”
Browne’s gut feeling was dead on. Skyline ran off 28 unanswered points in the second half to coast to a 49-24 nonleague victory Oct. 14 before a happy homecoming crowd at Skyline.

Jeff Mitchell, the founder, and Dr. Mark Nelson’s Sammamish office staff will collect basic school supplies for military families, as well as general supplies for care packages, which they will send to troops overseas. Operation Bald Eagle will also conduct a raffle for a chance to win an iPad.
